3 Background and Company Performance Industry Challenges The global portable vibration monitoring market is mature yet still evolving, plagued by a wide range of challenges. In the portable/offline segment, in particular, hardware is becoming increasingly commoditized and product differentiation is diminishing. In this highly competitive market, most equipment vendors have struggled to understand the importance of upgrading their solutions in line with changing modern technology and preferences. In addition, the lack of a skilled workforce is driving customers to depend on their vibration monitoring hardware providers for value-added features and functionalities. With a growing consumer awareness and emphasis on improving plant productivity and efficiency, Frost & Sullivan believes that companies who can effectively integrate and utilize the latest advances in modern technology will be highly successful in this market. Product Attributes and Customer Impact Match to Needs Emerson is widely recognized as the global market leader in the portable vibration monitoring equipment market and with the launch of the AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer, it has only added to its legacy of unmatched innovation. The genesis of this product lies in the company s extensive and well-structured customer feedback mechanisms involving both online and one-on-one interactions. Emerson s journey to excellence and leadership in this market began with the launch of one of the industry s first portable machine vibration analyzers during the early 1990s. Prior to the launch of the AMS 2140, the company had already launched an array of preceding products, namely, CSI 2100, 2110, 2115, 2120, and 2130, over the years, with each of them boasting considerable improvements over its immediate predecessor. In each case, the improvements were a result of a robust customer feedback mechanism. Similarly, when the CSI 2130 was launched, Emerson dedicated itself to understanding customer needs and perceptions which fed directly into the product development strategies of the AMS Emerson was able to consistently receive customer feedback through the lifecycle of the 2130 through its online product enhancement feedback site. Also, a direct link to this site was embedded into the product software to encourage customers to post valuable opinions regarding product design, performance, and usability. Emerson also contracted a third-party research firm to jointly visit customer sites as well as observe and analyze users of the CSI Detailed findings and observations regarding actual onsite usage, physical ergonomics, and preferences of the user were recorded. This data was then used to develop a prototype of the AMS 2140 to be tested by Emerson s customers. The final design concept of the AMS 2140 was further iterated from Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth

4 this feedback to create the industry leading solution that it is today, largely influenced by human-centered design principles. The AMS 2140 is, therefore, not only lighter and sleeker in design than its predecessors, but it has also made route data collection considerably more efficient. The full-color touchscreen has transformed data visualization irrespective of the lighting conditions, while the lithium-ion battery has ensured reliable and uninterrupted functioning of the device. This battery has also eliminated the need to charge the vibration analyzer more than once during a shift. The incorporation of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability has not only improved the overall usability of the device but also made transferring route data to a remote database seamless. The market s response to the AMS 2140 has been remarkable, driving Emerson s growth in this segment to well above the industry average. Reliability Emerson has incorporated some of the latest technologies and advancements into the AMS 2140, including touchscreen capabilities, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, and modular design, making it sleeker, faster, and more durable than its peers. But the stand-out feature that has considerably enhanced the user experience is its ability to improve the efficiency of route data collection. The AMS 2140 s 4-channel option combined with the A0643TX, Emerson s patented magnetic triaxial accelerometer, significantly improves the speed and efficiency of the data collection route, guaranteeing smart, time-effective, yet high-quality data collection. The traditional route data collection methodology requires a sensor to be positioned in multiple locations on each bearing of the machine. While Emerson s 4-channel solution simultaneously collects axial, vertical, and horizontal data on a single bearing in real time. AMS 2140 s 4-channel data collection approach is proven to be 30% quicker than that of the CSI 2130, which was considered to be one of the fastest analyzers available on the market when it was launched. The AMS 2140 also exhibits over 50% improvement in router data collection efficiency a remarkable achievement that has set a new industry standard for performance and efficiency. The ability to collect data on 4 channels simultaneously also enables broader and more advanced diagnoses of machinery faults. Quality The IP65 rating of Emerson s AMS 2140 indicates that the product is designed to exhibit best-in-class performance amidst extreme weather and industrial conditions. Both laboratory as well as real-world experiments that were conducted for 6 months to guarantee unmatched quality of the machine analyzers, suggest that the product displays commendable resistance against shock and extreme humid conditions. AMS 2140 has also Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth

5 exhibited optimal performance in extreme temperature conditions (from -10 C up to 50 C). It complies with the Factory Mutual (FM), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D standards. Its compliance with safety standards and procurement of these certifications are the most striking examples of the company s customer-centric product development strategies. Customer Ownership Experience Emerson s ability to identify the changing requirements of the new-age machine vibration analysts and seamlessly integrate the required developments into its product to improve both design and functionalities has translated into a robust customer ownership experience. The AMS 2140 s minimalist aesthetics, ergonomic design, wireless device interface, and laser alignment technology all contribute to an unparalleled customer ownership experience. While the minimalist product aesthetics makes it easier for predictive analysts of machine health condition to carry the device to the field, the ergonomic design simplifies data viewing and enables prompt device diagnosis. Weighing 1.79 kg, the AMS 2140 contains an XY resistive touchscreen with 640 x 480 pixel resolution along with an auto-adjusting light feature to simplify data viewing in different environments. The device also incorporates a keypad with 12 tactile dome keys on an electroluminescent panel. The company has also added intuitive features to the device to scale user experience. For instance, to understand the function of a certain key, a user is only required to press that key along with the question mark key. This simple action automatically generates a user manual elaborating the purpose of the key. Emerson has also developed a user manual that is available as a mobile application that customers can access through their cell phones. Moreover, to facilitate its existing customers transition from the CSI 2130 to the AMS 2140, Emerson has maintained a familiar user interface. Customer Purchase Experience To offer customers a fulfilling purchase experience, Emerson relies on in-depth training courses and extensive social media connectivity. The company offers a broad spectrum of machine health training courses that have been designed with the company s 65-year expertise in customer and user training. These study materials are aimed at addressing the diverse requirements of both customers and users. Emerson also focuses on media exposure (both in traditional and digital formats) to establish professional proximity to customers around the globe. In this context, the systematic publication of high-quality, informative news articles and alerts for the benefit of its existing and potential customers are powerful instruments of marketing employed by the company. These articles and alerts function as critical marketing tools and also help Emerson showcase its plans and future programs. Furthermore, the company s active presence on a vast array of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and YouTube, has helped it provide customers with the right information at the right time to generate the best purchase experience. Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth

6 Conclusion Emerson s AMS 2140 reemphasizes not only the company s technological vision but also its drive to stay ahead of the competition and remain at the forefront of the market. Bringing together some of today s most modern technologies and advancements into one product, Emerson has once again reset the bar in the portable vibration monitoring market with the AMS Because of its strong overall performance, Emerson is recognized with Frost & Sullivan s 2015 Product Innovation Award in the global portable vibration monitoring equipment market. Significance of Product Innovation Ultimately, growth in any organization depends upon continually introducing new products to the market, and successfully commercializing those products. For these dual goals to occur, a company must be best-in-class in three key areas: understanding demand, nurturing the brand, and differentiating from the competition. Understanding Product Innovation Innovation is about finding a productive outlet for creativity for consistently translating ideas into high quality products that have a profound impact on the customer.
